Kateryna immigrated to the USA in December 1950, with her husband Iwan and three children. They settled in Belfield, ND, where they raised five children. She was a stay at home mom until 1960, when she ventured into a food service career.

She was a member of St. John Ukrainian Catholic Church and participated in many church activities. Her favorite pastime was embroidering on flour sack dish towels and creating holiday crafts as well as offering homemade food treats to many friends and neighbors. She was extremely personable and known for her wonderful sense of humor and storytelling.
